that just moves the problem downstream some.
and the further downstream you go, the bigger the shit you get to take out. Sometimes, you can take out whole neighborhoods.

Do you have an electric dryer or kitchen stove? If you do just run a 220v extension cord into the garage.
Alternatively you could buy a 220v generator. lmao

well, the noise of running that shit for hours should sort out of the problem of the tenancy being too long.

shorts the phases. if the plasma arc sustains itself for long enough, automated protection equipment will trip a bigass breaker to prevent transformers from overloading and exploding. they have to investigate the cause before they turn the breaker back on (in case it was a tree falling on a line which would cause a forest fire.)

It's funny people think rent is more convenient if you plan to move. Even in a bad economy you can sell a home in 6 months. You chose to pay someone else's mortgage +maintenance +tip and get zero equity at the end and no freedom.
LoL, LAMO even

>can't afford gas
>can afford an EV

Have you calculated out the ROI? Protip: It will probably exceed the life of the vehicle unless gas prices get crazy expensive. The electricity to charge an EV costs about 2/3 less per mile than gas for a car with an ICE. So if you spend $2000 a year on gas, you'd expect to pay $660 a year keeping your EV charged or saving about $1400 a year. Another thing to factor in too is EVs should have fewer maintenance costs as well outside of potential battery replacement down the road. They don't require routine oil changes or anything like that.

>> No.49558369

>>49557135
Just by a used eco car. The only people who actually struggle with $5 gas are ultra poors and those who only have a truck. The capital costs of a new EV still don't make sense unless you were already in the $50k for a passenger car market, which is a market tier for absolute retards in the first place.

is their a dryer close to the garage? you can just use the dryer outlet. im sure your landlord would not actually be against this modification either, unless its a telsa powerwall, it is very practical to add a 240v outlet
